Who would’ve thought enshrining dogmatic extremist economic ideas in the constitution was a bad decision?

KISSmyOS,

Yeah, how much the government spends and on what shouldn’t be a constitutional matter.

CJOtheReal,

It is. And thats what the government put into the constitution, to change that you need 2/3 of our parliament to vote for that… And thats something that won’t happen…
